Do you think putting in long hours of hard work is the key to success in today’s work environment? People talk about hustle culture as a necessary part of doing well at work. They brag about missing sleep and skipping meals to make more money and achieve their next promotion. What do you think?
Is taking time off similar to being lazy? Do we want to look back at how we collect overtime hours like success badges to brag about?
Some say hustle culture is necessary these days to reach the economic success we aim for. Food isn’t cheap and housing is barely affordable for some people. Quality of life is eating healthy, but unless we have the financial ability to buy the food we need, or afford the vacation that will give us the mental health break we need, hustle culture can’t be avoided.
What do you think? Is hustle culture an important part of career success?

I think hustle culture can be incredibly toxic. It’s fine if you love working and want to work longer hours. But you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your health and happiness working insane hours just to survive. I think you need to find a balance where you work a fair amount of hours but also live your life and make memories.

I would say that it is not. There are many successful people who do not hustle. In fact, I believe that the most successful people are those who have a good work-life balance. If you are feeling overwhelmed or burned out, it is time to take a step back and reassess your priorities. There is no need to sacrifice your health and well-being in order to be successful.

Very true. I know of people who work four to six hours a day and take a few months of vacation per year and they make a six figure salary.

Unfortunately, we have created the hustle culture ourselves, and I do not think it is necessary. However, since we created it, hustle is now expected in the competitive job market.

Some days in some jobs showing up is half the job, especially when so many still prefer to work from home rather than commute.
